-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Actually, bend the symlinks /usr/libcrypt* to point to their corresponding libscrypt libraries That is the correct way to do it. You also might want to look at the pw utility instead of adduser. One of the annoyances I've found with adduser is that it bonks your /etc/group file in the head and removes any comments including the RCS tag at the top. Once bonked, when you mergemaster after a installworld, it thinks that there has been a change and it asks you about the file, even though there are no changes to merge in. pw does not do this, and its much more powerful.
